The exclude_privileges keyword parameter of the
last_access_time() function and related functions.
Changed
The /api/user_list API method and the get_user_list() function
now return a user’s privileges under a dictionary key called
privileges. Previously the key roles was used.
Fixed
The update() and has_key() methods of DADict did not work.
Multiple templates on a screen using iterators did not work
correctly.
Browser back button sometimes required two clicks to go back one
step.
Unhelpful error when uploading invalid file type to Wizard.
Using table with a DADict now sets row_index to the key and
row_item to the value, and DADicts can be edited using tables.
No delete buttons on a table when deletion would cause the number
of items to fall below minimum_number.
The edit option on a table can now use reference indices as well
as attributes.
The default message for the add_action() method on a group is
“Add an item” if the group is empty.
Clicking on a navigable section header empties the action queue,
ensuring that clicking “Resume” puts the user back in the interview,
rather than the screen they saw before they clicked the header.
Added
The delete buttons option when using edit on a table.
The only_if_empty option on the reset_gathered() method.
The slice method of the DADict class.
The re_gather attribute of groups to basic-questions.yml.
The follow up option in a review block fields.
The reconsider() function.
The preloaded modules configuration directive.
The action_button_html() function.
Fixed
URL for restarting interview session conflicted with another URL
when user logged in.
tables could not appear inside of review blocks because they
were always undefined.
Navigable section headers not styled correctly.
One of two processes simultaneously loading the playground modules at
same time could encounter an empty directory.
Screen loads through url_action_perform() did not show the
spinner.
Some thread variables were not reset between requests.
The OCR background function did not work, so rolled back celery and
kombu to 4.1.0.
When a variable is force-asked or the goal of an action and a
question is not found, no error will be raised. This facilitates
the use of optional follow-up questions in a review block.
Upgraded OS from Debian stretch from Debian jessie. Upgraded pandoc
to version 2.3. LibreOffice upgraded to version in
stretch-backports. A system upgrade is required to realize these
changes.
Setting a minlength on a datatype: checkboxes field turns off the
“None of the above” item.
The .copy_into() method of DAFile now accepts DAFile,
DAStaticFile, DAFileList, and DAFileCollection objects as
the argument, as well as the direct file path of the other file.
Fixed
Problem with converting to PDF after update references for some
tables of contents.
The .copy_into() and .from_url() methods now update PDF and
image information after the file contents change.
The redact() function and redact option on attachments.
Changed
The template and table blocks now become DALazyTemplate
objects rather than DATemplate objects. Their contents are
evaluated at the time they are reduced to text, not at the time they
are created.
Fixed
Problem with currency() and other functions when used from a docx
template file where undefined variables did not raise exceptions.
The create_new_interview() function caused unnecessary 4 second delay.
Users with user privileges could not access API key management.
The interview_url() function was returning a URL based on how the
current request was made, rather than the actual URL for getting to
an interview.
Interviews are now served from /interview rather than /. This
change is backward-compatible.
Error notification e-mails will no longer include the interview
variables as a JSON file unless error notification variables is
set to true in the Configuration.
Non-mandatory blocks no longer get tracked in the internal
dictionary as having been answered.
Added
The root redirect url Configuration directive.
The include_internal parameter of all_variables().
Warning if mandatory is used on a block that does not support the
mandatory modifier.
The undefine, recompute, and set options inside of a review
block.
Changed
To indicate that a multiple-choice under fields should use radio
buttons, a pulldown, or a combobox, use input type instead of
datatype. The datatype can then be set to something else, like
number. This change is backwards compatible.
Removed sublocality from normalized addresses.
Fixed
The show if JavaScript comparison is now more lenient when the
values look like numbers.
The delete_all function did not delete all interviews.
The defined function did not work well with lists and dictionaries
in the process of being gathered.

The all_variables() function now has an optional keyword argument
special that returns information about an interview that is not
stored in the variables.
Added
Support for long_description in setup.py files.
Fixed
Update button in /updatepackage reverted package to master
branch.
The include_docx_template() function accepts keyword parameters.
This has the effect of including Jinja2 set commands at the
beginning of the included sub-document.
The ldap login configuration directive. Using this feature will
require a system upgrade (running a new instance), as the
libsasl2-devlibldap2-dev Debian packages are required
dependencies of the python-ldap Python module.
The last_access_time() now returns the last access time as a
datetime object with a time zone; previously the object was “naive”
with respect to time zone.
Fixed
Problem with branch name of new GitHub repository.
Problem with as_datetime() converting times to midnight when the
argument is already a datetime object.
Configuration directive allow demo for allowing demonstration
interviews in production mode.
Ability to send e-mail using the Mailgun API instead of SMTP.
The decimal places option for automatically formatting floating
point numbers passed to DOCX and PDF forms using field code,
code, or field variables.
Changed
If the checkin interval configuration directive is set to 0, the
browser will not “check in” at all.
When the /api/session/question API encounters an undefined
variable for which a definition is not available, it will no longer
return an error code, but will return a success code and indicate
what variable was not defined.
Fixed
Invalid HTML in navigation bar.
Removed unnecessary invalidation of interview cache.
Problem with address autocomplete when variable name contains a bracket.
The all_variables() and variables_as_json() functions now
contain a limitation on nesting depth. The limit is hard-coded at
6 levels, after which values will be “null.” This is to prevent
exceptions being triggered by circular references.
Setting Google Drive Synchronization folder to “Do not link” will
now erase the connection between the OAuth app and the user.
When populating PDF checkboxes, passing None to the checkbox or to
the yesno() or noyes() functions will result in the box not
being checked.
Apache web server variables are now reset after a restart (e.g.,
after the Configuration is changed.
When pulling the contents of a docassemble extension package
into the Playground, it will now remember the GitHub URL or PyPI
package name so that when you go to Pull again, you will not need to
retype. This works even if you have not enabled GitHub integration.
Fixed
PDF checkbox inconsistencies.
Git pull into Playground packages without integration generated an
error message.
When datatype is object and variable existed, it would try to reduce
the object to text in order to see if it should be highlighted as a
pre-selected default value.
Option for changing the UID and GID of www-data within the Docker
container, so that /usr/share/docassemble/files can be mounted as
a Docker volume and the Playground files can be edited.
Changed
Multiple choice questions in fields will set boolean True or
False if those are the only options.
Additional headers are set to enable cross-site resource sharing
if the CROSSSITEDOMAIN variable is set.
Apache configuration files in Docker are configured differently;
existing site configuration files will not be overwritten and
configuration options are now implemented as Apache variables.
DAList objects now work with the + operator; a regular list can
be added to a DAList but not the other way around.
Fixed
The uncheck others feature triggered an error if it was not the
last field.
The Individual class no longer initializes the child, income,
asset, and expense attributes, but there are objects blocks in
basic-questions.yml that will initialize these attributes.
The Organization class no longer initializes the office
attribute, unless offices is provided as a keyword parameter
during object construction.
Added
Interview tags system and the session_tags() function.
The checkbox export value option when using pdf template file.
Changed
The Markdown to HTML converter now uses the Attribute Lists extension.
The server_capabilities() function now has a google_maps item.
When the server is not in debug mode, users must be logged in as
with administrator or developer privileges to run interviews in
docassemble.base and docassemble.demo. In the SMS interface,
interviews in these packages are always inoperable unless the server
is in debug mode.
Fixed
The server_capabilities() was not recognizing the enable
settings.
When using S3 or Azure Blob Storage, the files will now be cached
on the server file system and updated when they change.
When using the Playground and S3 or Azure Blob Storage is in use,
and there are more than ten decorations, no preview images will be
shown in “Variables, etc.”
The values of SavedFile objects will be cached in memory for the
duration of a web request, so that when you create a new
SavedFile, attributes will be set from memory.
The first argument to a MachineLearner object will no longer be
used as a literal group_id. Rather, an argument 'fruit' it will
be converted into a group_id of the form
docassemble.packagename:data/sources/ml-interviewname.json:fruit.
You can still set a literal group_id using the keyword parameter
group_id.
When an initial_file is given to a MachineLearner object, two
different formats can be used: an array, or a dictionary of arrays.
If a dictionary of arrays, the keys will be checked and if the key
matches the group_id (with the part before the final
colon, if any, removed), the array corresponding to that key will be
used.
Fixed
Playground wizard not including pdf and docx template files in package.
Playground wizard not including static files in package.
Playground wizard pickle error when using S3 or Azure blob storage.
Interview cache invalidation now handled through thread local
variables and a redis counter, rather than by modification times on
YAML files. This may avoid potential problems with Google Drive
sync.
Google Drive sync now has a page that tells the user not to stop the
web browser.
Fixed
Error on URL redirection.
Playground package page asking for GitHub sign-in after expiration
of credentials.
The way that the objects block gets executed has changed. It no
longer executes as a mandatory block unless it is marked as
mandatory.
In addition, the way that questions are asked has changed
accordingly. If any fields that would be set by the question have
attributes, docassemble will try to ensure that the underlying
variable is already defined, which may trigger a process of defining
the variable. This will ensure that objects mentioned in object
blocks will be created before they are necessary.
These new changes enable the use of iterator variables like i in
objects blocks.
Fixed
Problem with deletion of keys on S3.
Problem with response() on second and subsequent screens.
Option for go full screen that limits behavior to mobile only.
Caching of assembled documents. Clicking on assembled documents
will now open them in a new browser tab rather than offering them
as attachment downloads.
Changed
In Google Drive synchronization, .tmp and .gdoc files are now
ignored.
Fixed
Spinner did not appear on signature pages.
Date validation forcing input even when date not required.
Images included in terms not appearing unless fully qualified.

allow uploaded files to be used across interview sessions and not be
deleted when the session in which the file was uploaded is deleted.
url_for() method for DAFileList.
Changed
Hyperlinks to actions (e.g., created through url_action() or
action_menu_item()) are now carried out through Ajax.
Fixed
Compatibility of UI elements with ‘control’ live help feature.
Extraneous “Menu” entry in mobile menu when custom menu used.
Fields with datatype: checkboxes now have a “None of the above”
option by default, and input validation ensures that something is
checked. The none of the above field modifer configures it.
After registration, users will bypass the “Interviews” screen and
go right back to their interview, if they have started an interview.
Added
Option in fields called uncheck others when datatype is
yesno, noyes, yesnowide, or noyeswide. Enables a yes/no
field to act as a “None of the above” option.
“Upgrade docassemble” button on the “Update a package” page.
Fixed
Automatic login after registration was not working, so users had to
enter username and password information twice.
Improved CSS for when name of interview on mobile is too long to fit
in navigation bar.
Non-ASCII characters in PDF fields when scanning through utilities
no longer cause an error.
Fixed problem introduced in 0.1.22 where interview data would be
destroyed when switching back to an interview during the same session.
Support for help text next to choices in a multiple choice list.
Changed
Database upgrades now handled by alembic by default. See the ‘use
alembic’ configuration directive.
Extension packages no longer depend on the docassemble.base or
docassemble.webapp packages. As a result, installation of an
extension package will no longer trigger a total software update.
If you want to upgrade docassemble, upgrade docassemble.webapp.
Note that packages created in earlier versions will still have these
dependencies until they are regenerated in the Playground. You can
always edit install_requires in the setup.py file.
If you updated the Python packages to 0.1.15 or 1.1.16 without
updating the system, you may have experienced an error. Now, if
changes to the Python packages alter the necessary PostgreSQL
columns or tables, those columns and tables will be changed upon
reboot after the updating of the Python packages, and will not have
to wait until an upgrade of the system.
Fixed reference in Dockerfile to non-existent file.
